Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

I am going to repost this DIRECT QUOTE FROM EA back in April. I didn't think this would hit 28 pages in a little over 10 hours but I posted this already...

By popular demand! Here are some of the new facemasks that have been added to the game...

Mixing and matching the new NIKE uniforms, cleats, face masks, sleeves and other yet to be released gear will keep me and many gamers out there in edit player for hours.

I am hopeful the sim standard and all other youtube video makers get on this too. This is a feature that can't be lost! It took From Madden 06-12 to finally complete the editing feature like we had previous generation with 2k5!!

This announcement really made me stop and look at all the things we still don't have with Madden that we had last generation. Custom camera's,stadium music, and celebrations were some of them. Hard to believe that other then online features(wasn't popular back then) last generation had more features in their game. This is EA's 8th xbox 360 release!

Nope, the SimStandard has nothing but praise. They mention nothing about the missing features. To be fair though, they really only care about on the field action so they probably don't even care about Connected Careers, or anything unrelated to gameplay.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

why couldnt they have just kept a separate "franchise mode" like they have had every other year in addition to CC etc, to keep the hundreds of thousands of loyal madden customers who play exclusively offline franchise happy

I'm really not understanding this- Offline franchise is exactly the same, its just called CCM now. There is no difference, they could have left "Offline franchise" outside of CCM and it still wouldn't have changed a thing in terms of the new features and removal of some.

Exactly this! We know at least the PS3 has the disc space for both modes,right? A free update would even be accepted on release day if needed!!

Other sports games by other game makers will just add a new feature on top of the feature you are used to. That way it doesn't make people upset who loved the previous feature. With EA, it is always like this. They shuffle their features around and that is their thinking on it. I don't understand it at all


I am pretty upset right now. If I had a choice of another football game, I wouldn't say a word about this and just move to the other forum. I don't have a choice. EA promised back in 2005 that gamers wouldn't be upset with the exclusive license because how awesome their game was going to be. Then we got Madden 2006 on the 360 and ever since then you know the rest of the story.

Come on EA. Enough is enough with the loss of new and old features!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

Yes this has been confirmed a few times now. The lack of editing affects the control of players and team control, not the fundamental game play.

No, you have it all wrong. I am wondering if custom sliders can be used in offline CC or if anybody has any news on this.

Will the custom slider feature be in CC or missing along with player edits?

2K5? Their editing feature wasn't something to be proud of -- at least not in their franchise mode. Sure, you could edit rookie ratings. But the veteran players couldn't be touched.

I remember using Finn's editor from 08-09; I'd go to my mom's house b/c the laptop I had at home was incompatible w/ the editor. I didn't live far from my folks, but far enough that it was out the way. Anyway, I recall getting home after downloading a franchise file and after booting up, I'd realize that I didn't fix Jason Witten's arm sleeves, or I didn't give Marion Barber his dreads. It couldn't be fixed without going back to my mom's and adjusting the file, and then going back home only to realize another player slipped through the cracks.

All said, I loved franchise in 2K5. Maybe that's a dose of reality that I need. I hate going backwards and not having editing capabilities in M13, but franchise can still be enjoyed. Meh...

That's not true. They weren't invited to CD b/c they offer 'nothing but praise.'

That's said about everybody that comes back from CD. Everybody.

and btw, I was referring to their reaction to Madden 13 gameplay, not previous editions.

From the main menu In 2k5 you could edit every player in 2k5(name, number, college, hand)(body type,skin tone, face, height, weight(helmet, facemask, eyeblack, mouthpiece, left & right gloves,left and right wrist bands, left and right elbows, sleeves, left and right shoe, neck roll, turtleneck)and also tons of stats.(spent a lot of time with this game)

After you have done that, you really wouldn't need to edit ratings other then rookies. Everyone else can be edited before the season.

Now, I think Madden 12's player editor last year was better in design then 2k5, but I wouldn't be complaining right now as much if we could at least edit players before ccm like 2k5 offered(use them in ccm) and also edit rookies would be nice too!

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

all you have to do is play the NCAA demo to see that equipment on non licensed players changes every time...and it isn't pretty. McCarren or whatever the qb's name for Alabama is constantly has on a rb robot facemask and horrible accessories.

I know they aren't the same game but this is the same thing that happens to Madden generated rookies and we won't be able to do ANYTHING to change it.

Not correct Azure loves CCM. And we (community event attendees) weren't aware of editing not being added in.

You and Roadman are taking what I say out of context. I sub to the SS, and have been one of the most outspoken people about Madden's gameplay issues...Azure may care about CC, but what about the rest (Moody, Brosales, Apex)... how many vids do they do on franchise, mut, online? The overwhelming majority of their vids deal with gameplay. That is all I was saying. It's understandable that they didn't know about the missing features (I'm certain they do now), but that isn't the channels main purpose... their main focus is on the field.
The sim standard mission statement.

The fact that this thread jumped to 30 pages in just under 16 hours should tell Looman that this isn't just a "small issue."

Re: Madden NFL 13 Roster Editing Issue Rears Its Ugly Head

No knock to GameChangers and Community Day attendees, but this is exactly why I dont trust their previews or initial impressions. Ive been to a few CDs and its very difficult to see through all the presentations and the excitement of playing a new game. Its hard to remember or even think of key questions like Editing when you are looking at the new features. Also there is no guarantee that the developers will give you a straight answer.
